Before the next big conflict, I need to introduce to you the next big player in Northern Europe: The Frisians. Even better: the New Frisians. This hodgepodge squeezed itself right between the Frankish kingdom of the Merovingian rulers and the dangerous North Sea. More the wonder that the Frisians will survive the pressure of the Franks, missionaries and the sea, living a wonderful life of some 1500 years. If you have the chance, watch the film 'Redbad'. It is not quite the true storyline of the Frisian king, but a good perspective.
